THE IMPACTS OF A DYNAMIC ROAD PRICING SYSTEM BASED ON THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC MARGINAL COSTS OF ROAD TRAFFIC IN THE STOCKHOLM REGION

The technology needed to implement dynamic road pricing systems is developing rapidly. This new technology creates opportunities to implement road pricing systems based on the socio-economic costs of road traffic with different fares over time and type of road. The purpose of this study is to define such a fare system for the Stockholm region and to compare the impacts of this system to the impacts of a system with cordon toll pricing. The results show that such a system reduces car traffic and there is a good possibility that society will benefit from time savings and reduced external effects.
